We have a station wagon, and one son and manage to fill the boot and back seat when we travel!! Definately go for the smallest portacot (and all other baby stuff for that matter)]]> Thu, 28 Jul 2011 20:14:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39999&PID=1368638&title=portacot#1368638 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39999&PID=1368500&title=portacot#1368500 Author: BessieBear

I would suggest that you look for ones that fold up smaller. Like th phil n teds, or kinder cots.
We have a standard portble thing form TBF Kingston I think, and with that and the pram and all the kisd 'stuff' there's not alot of room in the boot, so with 2 portacots, you may not have alot of room to play with.
Thats if you've got a small car though.

Love my phil and teds one. So light and fits in my suitcase if needed. The mattress is inflatable but thats never worried DS and he sleeps on it 4 days a week at his carers house.

Thank you so much for your advice squoggs. I am looking at purchasing them for when we all go to stay at my parents so will definitely look at getting better mattresses since will be using them quite a bit.
Will also look at the Roma portacot thanks karenb_chch :)]]> Mon, 25 Jul 2011 22:41:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39999&PID=1367349&title=portacot#1367349 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39999&PID=1367134&title=portacot#1367134 Author: karenb_chch

I have a Roma portacot (by Jolly Jumper, from Farmers). It's easy to put up and take down, and was relatively cheap! But I totally agree with squoggs - get another mattress cos the ones they come with are basically a plank!]]> Mon, 25 Jul 2011 15:37:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39999&PID=1367134&title=portacot#1367134 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39999&PID=1367014&title=portacot#1367014 Author: squoggs

HI foxy123, we have used lots of different portacots as we travel lots and just use whatever we can, when we stay wherever we are, and we haven't found a bad one yet! Even those older ones in fluro colours are fine, as long as they are taut when made up. We do tend to add a softer mattress to them though, as the mattresses that come with portacots are so hard]]> Mon, 25 Jul 2011 11:42:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39999&PID=1367014&title=portacot#1367014 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39999&PID=1366700&title=portacot#1366700 Author: foxy123

Hi,

I am needing 2 x portacots for my nearly 6 month old twin boys. I was wondering if there are any recommendations? or portacots you would stay away from?

Many thanks. ]]> Sun, 24 Jul 2011 16:22:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39999&PID=1366700&title=portacot#1366700
